Founding Engineer

Description

About the company

The company is building the AI sales platform for home service technicians.

With the company, technicians can focus on what they enjoy - diagnosing issues and fixing equipment - while our AI makes it simple for them to sell more equipment, do more jobs, and spend less time on menial admin.

The opportunity is massive. For the last few months, the founders have been quietly selling to some of the biggest companies in the country, and the company is in pole position to win. We need talented people to help us meet demand and scale.

We’re well capitalized with multiple years of runway and multiple paying customers. The founders have many years of experience across high-growth startups and organizations like Porter, Ironclad, Affinity, Bain, Amazon, and Uber.

Role

The company is hiring a Founding Engineer to help us improve and deploy our core product for large home services companies.

Our first product is live with some of the largest contractors across the country. Your job will be to implement customer feedback, build out new features and help with deployments. This is our first hire outside the founders so you will work very closely with us and have a strong say in how we scale the business. You should not take this job if you expect someone to tell you what to do; we encourage everyone to adopt the founder mindset and shape the direction of the company.
